Hermi(one) Banger
Hermi(one) Banger (they/them) has been for the past almost ten years living as a pseudo-hermit hedgewitch and farmer stalking country lanes and wild fallow areas. Now they are back “in the world” and designing games and writing about relationships, queerness, community, consensus, ethics and magick.
Their design work is a blend of emergent and situational game design that includes mechanics for conversation, storytelling, consent, affection, self-reflection, player to player feedback, exploration of ethics, consensus building, direct action and an invitation to an open and active kind of playful creativity.
Their written work is a blend as well. From academic papers and talks on friendship and dating games, affinity games and anarchism, witchcraft and resistance, relationship anarchy and queerness, to creative non-fiction work, short fiction, plays, poetry, and SFF (science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction) most of which you can on this site or their Patreon available for free or buy them a cup of coffee on Ko-fi.
If you are interested in collaborating on something–a workshop, gathering, game design, or educational project, public talk or a written work, reach out to me and contact them at hermionebanger@gmail.com or dm/tweet at them @hermionebanger
